Anton/Bauer is aiming to help productions become more sustainable with the introduction of Salt-E Dog, a sodium-based 9kWh mobile power source, which can be used on location.

The Salt-E Dog enables productions to offset 2.6 kg of CO2 and associated NOx per litre of fuel saved.

It offers a range of power output options, with AC power provided through four 20A 120V outlets or a 50A 125V Stage Pin connector.

DC power comes through four 16A 28V XLR3, four 16A 48V, as well as two 5 20V, 100W USB-C ports. The unit can provide up to 6000W of pure sine wave power, and it can be recharged from AC outlets, solar PV, and CCS Level 2 (J1772) electric vehicle charge points.

The sodium cell is 100 per cent recyclable, and also has a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) rating compared to lithium-ion batteries. Using sodium cells, rather than lithium, productions can safely place the unit near lighting, catering, craft and even on-screen talent without the risk of thermal runaway or fire, reducing the need for fire marshals and water trucks on set lowering insurance premiums, said the company.

The Salt-E Dog's features include:

9kWh sodium battery for consistent and reliable power

7-inch colour touchscreen display for real-time monitoring

IP55 weatherproof rating for durability in all conditions

Multiple AC and DC outputs for including XLR3, USB and Stage Pin for versatile power distribution

AC grid power, PowerCon True1, solar PV, and CCS Level 2 (J1772) electric vehicle charger inputs for convenient recharging

The motion picture and television industry plays a crucial role in inspiring audiences and driving change, said Nicola Dal Toso, divisional CEO - Videndum Production Solutions. We are excited to be at the forefront of industry sustainability efforts by producing a cleaner, more environmentally safe alternative to traditional power sources. The Salt-E Dog is the first of a new breed of sustainable Anton/Bauer products that will provide consistent, reliable power with no noise or pollution, helping productions meet sustainability goals without compromising quality.
